Pasting URL with carriage return does not strip it anymore
Hello,
it seems I have found a regression (or maybe a change ?) between version 28 and 29 of Firefox.
Previously, pasting:
"""
www.mozilla.
com
"""
into Firefox would open www.mozilla.com
now it sends me to / googles the string "www.mozilla. com"
I could reproduce and compare the results between
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0
and
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0
This is slightly annoying when trying to copy paste long URLs that span over multiple lines.
I remain available should you need more information, or if you think I should open a bug report for this.

hello VxDman, i could replicate this changed behaviour in firefox 29 and above. you can try this as a workaround:
enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines. double-click it, change its value to 3 and restart the browser for it to take effect.
